Oak Aged Toscana IGT SuperTuscan Blend

Soft tannins, subtle fruit/spice. Easy going.

Vintage 2012 - a bit old fashioned farmerstyle wine with the smell of a cedar cigarbox and stable, roundness in taste. Real sangiovese smell, so true to type. Paired it with a stew from the oven.

Medium ruby in color; cherries, cedar, and plums on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like tomato leaf, strawberry jam, clovs, and raspberries with a long finish. Nellie doesn't like it, but I think it's really good. Lots of red fruit flavor from the Sangiovese and rounded out by 10% Merlot.

Smooth, really good. Doug brought it to dinner tonight.

Bought this for my ragu sauce. I have had other vintages. Easy fruit forward bottle that is really nice for $13.

Not for me - very low tannins, taste of merlot covers all other nuances of the wine.

Nose: farmy. Yeast, barnyard, earth, hay, clay, minerals. Blueberry. Palate: soft, smooth, more than expected, nicely put together. I like this. 90. Good value @$13!

OK but not up to the standards of the area’s wines…

Strange wine…drinkable but not smooth, not tannic, not acidic, not oaky…just odd and not reminiscent of a Super Tuscan or a decent Chianti.
